    Journal of Critical Reviews ISSN- 2394-5125 Vol 7, Issue 9, 2020 SOCIAL CONDITIONS OF SHINASHA TRIALS IN NORTHWESTERN ETHIOPIA 1Abebe Ano Alula, 2Arjun Rao Kuthadi (Ph.D.) 1Ph.D. candidate in Department of History, College of Social Sciences and Art Osmania University, Hyderabad, India 2Professor of History ,Supervisor, Department of History, College of Social Sciences and Art Osmania University, Hyderabad, India Received: 24.03.2020 Revised: 14.04.2020 Accepted: 22.05.2020 Abstract This article is primarily concerned to explore the social conditions of the Shinasha community in northwestern Ethiopia. Shinasha is some of the Indigenous groups with Ca. 60,587 population in Ethiopia, Africa continent, who are living Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State, near the Sudanese borderland. They have different social practices that distinguish them from others. They were part of the historical Gonga people who once lived on edges of the River Abay. Where were the early places of settlement of the Shinasha? What were the Social conditions, social changes and continuity in the Shinasha community? I address these questions by historically juxtaposing with social conditions and its dynamics with my interviews with the key informants and observations of changes in conditions of the Shinasha. This study highlights the geographic and background of the study area. The study tries to focus on the early settlement of the Shinasha and their conquest under imperial rule. It attempted to analyze the social organization of the Shinasha society. The significance of the paper is contributed to the understanding of the Social conditions and social changes and continuity of the Shinasha community in the historical outline.

  • Flood Hazard Assessment Using Multi-Criteria Evaluation Approach in Dembiya Woreda, Amhara Region, Ethiopia
    ERJSSH 5(2), December 2018 ORIGINAL ARITICLE Flood Hazard Assessment Using Multi-criteria Evaluation Approach in Dembiya Woreda, Amhara Region, Ethiopia Dessie Tegegne1, Ebrahim Esa2 and Assayew Nebere3 Abstract The current climate change scenario and various studies in the past related to climate change have shown that flood impact has increased vulnerability of people in the flood plains. The aim of this study was to examine the spatial distribution of flood hazard severity in Dembiya Woreda in Amhara Region using GIS and remote sensing techniques. The study employed the multi criteria evaluation (MCE) based flood hazard severity to examine the extent and magnitude of flood hazard severity in the study area. The flood hazard mapping was undertaken using GIS and remote sensing technique to show spa- tial distribution of flood hazard severity hotspots in the study woreda. The flood hazard map obtained from the overlay analysis of flood causative factors in the study area soundly agrees to each other. The flood hazard severity map indicated that about 40777ha (32.8%) and 81350ha (65.4%) of land were subjected to high and moderate flood hazard severity, respectively. These could have a tremendous im- pact on crop production in areas that are frequently being hit by flood hazards. Therefore, multi-criteria based flood hazard assessment is vital to show spatial distributions of different severity levels of flood hazard so that the required mitigation and adaptation strategies can be implemented. Keywords: MCE, flood hazard severity, hazards mapping, GIS, Remote sensing, mitigation and adap- tation strategies Introduction Background of the Study Flooding is defined as the spilling over of the normal limits for example river, lake, sea, stream or accumulation of water as a result of heavy precipitation through lack or ex- ceeding of the discharge capacity of drains, or snow melt, dams or dikes break affecting areas which are normally not submerged (Douben and Ratnayake, 2005).

  • Epidemiology of Intestinal Parasitic Infections in Preschool and School
    Chelkeba et al. BMC Public Health (2020) 20:117 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-020-8222-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Epidemiology of intestinal parasitic infections in preschool and school-aged Ethiopian children: a systematic review and meta-analysis Legese Chelkeba1,2*, Zeleke Mekonnen3, Yonas Alemu3 and Daniel Emana3 Abstract Background: Numerous studies have been carried out on assessing the prevalence of intestinal parasites infections (IPIs) amongpreschool and school-age children in Ethiopia, but there is lack of study systematically gathered and analyzedinformation for policymakers. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to provide a summary on prevalence, geographical distribution and trends of IPIs among preschool and school-age childrenin Ethiopia. Methods: The search were carried out in Medline via PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science, and Google Scholar from 1996to July2019 for studies describing prevalence of IPIs among preschooland school-age children. We conducted meta-regression to understand the trends and the source of heterogeneity and pooled the prevalence using ‘metaprop’ command using STATA software version 14. Results: Eighty-three(83) studies examining 56,786 fecal specimens were included. The prevalence of IPIs was 48%(95%CI: 42 to 53%) and showedsignificantly decreasing trends 17% (95% CI: 2.5 to 32%) for each consecutive 6 years) and was similar in males and females. The pooled prevalence in years 1997–2002, 2003–2008, 2009–2014 and > 2014 was 71% (95% CI: 57 to 86%), 42% (95% CI: 27 to 56%), 48% (95% CI: 40 to 56%) and 42% (95% CI: 34 to 49%), respectively.

In October 1973 the International Afar Research Expedition with 18 people in four LandRovers visited Amado. "Amado is noteworthy for its thick, fluviatile, crystalline tuffs containing beautiful translucent fossil wood and hundreds of monkey and baboon fossils. Coppens and Guérin judged the elephants and rhinos to be between 3 and 4 million years old. Some of the associated sediments looked like hot spring deposits, and the fossil wood looked like palm." The expedition in five days collected nearly 400 fossils, a quarter of them being monkeys.

  • The Origin of Blin: an Overview
    The Origin of Blin: an overview To be presented on the Blin Democracy and Cultural Day workshop in Stockholm, Sweden in September 09, 2006 Fitsum Asfaha Haile ([email protected]) Overview Today, in Eritrea there are three main races: Nilotic, Hamatic (Cushitic) and Semitic. These three races had had different modes of life, and physical appearances. 1. The Nilotic: They are the indigenous people of East Africa originating from the region of the Nile River, after which there are named. They have often a taller and slimmer physical appearance than the average human being. This race used to dominate most of the African parts thousands years ago before BC. They used to depend on wild fruits and hunting for their daily life. Eventually due to climate change they started to develop agriculture; and slowly they moved in towards the central highlands looking for fertile areas. Today we find some remnant cereals of this people like “Barer” and “Badenay”, which indicate that they used to grow crops. The second reason they were driven in is due to the invasion of Cushitic people from the North East Africa. Usually these people are associated with cattle herding. Currently they are found in the Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, and Eritrea. In Eritrea they are represented by Baria (Nara) and Baden (kunama). 2. The Cushitic/Hamatic: This race is named after the Biblical figure Cush (Ham). This race entered East Africa from the North starting from Egypt to the western coastal areas of the Red Sea around 5000-3000BC (Ghaber 1995). It was the era which had witnessed severe drought.

  • The Impact of Jesuit Interlude During the Seventeenth Century Ethiopia: Risks and Uncertainities
    International Journal of Development in Social Sciences and Humanities http://www.ijdssh.com (IJDSSH) 2020, Vol. No. 9, Issue 1, Jan-Jun e-ISSN: 2455-5142; p-ISSN: 2455-7730 THE IMPACT OF JESUIT INTERLUDE DURING THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY ETHIOPIA: RISKS AND UNCERTAINITIES Bitwoded Admasu Dagnaw Assistant Professor of Civics and Ethical Studies Dean of Students, University of Gondar, Maraki Campus College of Social Sciences and the Humanities University of Gondar Received:15th January, 2020; Accepted:24th January, 2020; Published:28th February,2020 ABSTRACT The notion of Ethiopia as the land of Prester John inspired the head of the Roman Catholic Church. The Ethiopian orthodox church theologian initial contacts with the Jesuits led to the critical period for the 17th century practice and development of alien religious dissemination and conversion in Ethiopia in the 16th to the mid-17th centuries under the pretext of difficult military support relationship between Roman Catholic and Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity. The Jesuits were entrusted with the anticipated conversion of the Ethiopian Orthodox within the realm of Prester John from the Monophysite spiritual sphere. In 1520 the first Portuguese delegation reached Ethiopia which became sympathy to a most fascinating encounter between incomprable religions and cultures. The Ethiopian monarchial authority, this time, was under pressure to hamper state disintegration against the wat of Ahmed Gragn. In fact, the Portuguese armed co-operation with the Ethiopian monarchy paved the way for the Portuguese deliberate interests in their regional competition with the Ottoman Turks for control of the trade routes in the Red Sea and the North-Western quarter of the Indian Ocean.
